Always a treat to see the CP over reaction after 1 period, 1 game, 1 week, and I think tonight won't disappoint in that regard.
Flames will be fine. Markstrom as long as he comes as advertised, will keep the team in a great spot.
Tkachuk has to start to back up on the ice, some of the noble talk he spews off of it.
JG and SM not worried about. They aren't as bad as many made it out to be last season.
Defenders I think will be fine. Active D is required in this league so let's hope the newly minted guys contribute there.
Secondary scoring will make or break this team, as had been the case the last 2 seasons especially. Lindholm is part of that.
There certainly will be some surprises, as to how far some players fall off a cliff, and how some really step it up. Injuries and rest will be huge for all teams this year, it's depth and navigating those issues properly, to have success.
Gfg.
And don't lose.
